2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the problems to be solved by the invention
A bay window is sometimes used on the outer wall of the living room in order to add light to the living room, ventilation, and to add an accent to the outer wall to enhance the appearance of the house.

On the other hand, an air conditioner is often used in order to improve the habitability and comfort of a house, but an air conditioner having a floor-standing indoor unit occupies a part of a living room by installing this indoor unit. In addition to restricting the placement of furniture and the like, it tends to be inferior in appearance because it exposes indoor units.

The present invention is based on the fact that an indoor unit of an air conditioner is installed in an indoor unit accommodating box arranged below a bay window, and a top plate serving as a lower plate of the bay window is arranged at the upper end of the indoor unit accommodating box. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bay window air conditioner that can effectively utilize the lower part of the bay window and can accommodate the indoor unit with a good appearance, and that can also improve comfort.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a bay window air conditioner of the present invention is a floor of an air conditioner having a wind direction plate at a front upper edge that can change a blowing direction between horizontal and obliquely upward. A side window portion arranged on both sides of a stationary indoor unit, a front wall portion having a height for exposing the wind direction plate and having a louver for connecting the front ends thereof through the front of the indoor unit, and a bay window It is composed of an indoor unit housing box arranged below, and a top plate which is arranged at the upper end of the indoor unit housing box and covers the upper part of the indoor unit housing box and serves as a lower plate of the bay window. There is a notch that allows diagonally upward wind to pass through.

[0006]

A floor-standing type indoor unit of an air conditioner is housed in an indoor unit housing box which includes side walls arranged on both sides of the indoor unit and front walls connecting front ends of the indoor units and which is arranged below a bay window. At the same time, a top plate which is a lower plate of the bay window is arranged at the upper end of the indoor unit housing box. Therefore, the indoor unit can be installed under the bay window while covering its front and upper surfaces, and the appearance can be enhanced, and the space under the bay window, which has been a dead space, can be effectively utilized, and the arrangement of furniture and the like can be facilitated. To do.

Further, the indoor unit has a wind direction plate which can change a blowing direction between a horizontal direction and an obliquely upper direction at a front upper edge thereof, and a front wall portion of the indoor unit accommodating box is above the wind direction plate. And a notch is formed at the front edge of the top plate by the wind direction plate, through which obliquely upward air flows. Therefore, the blowing direction can be changed according to the temperature change of the living room, the arrangement of furniture, etc., and the comfort can be improved, and the cutout portion provided on the top plate is a relatively small space through which an obliquely upward wind can pass. All that is required is that the upper surface of the top plate can be widely used as a mounting table for articles such as interior interiors.
